The lighter sits on an outdoor table, seems to be rain resistant. I appreciate the mirror in the cap to aid aiming the flame at the distant cigar tip. This is an unadvertised feature that sets the lighter apart from the rest. Love it!

I found that this lighter is like a snowbird senior citizen; it doesn't like cold weather. I kept the lighter on a window sill, and when I went to use it one day in February it wouldn't ignite. I got frustrated and stuck it my pocket as I searched for some matches. After 10 minutes or so, I pulled it out and gave it one last try. Low & behold, it ignited. After a few more encounters like that, I discovered that this will not ignite if it's cold. I can't explain why. I just know that when it's cold, it doesn't work.

This was my first "torch" lighter and it totally slipped my mind that it wouldn't ship with butane and I would have to buy some. There was a little frustration when it first arrived and I wanted to use it, but it filled easily and is still going strong.
